Natan Cheifetz is a “transplanted Israeli,” according to a 2011 profile in the Jewish Independent. His LinkedIn profile, which notes that he obtained a “Combined MBA/MEng” from UBC from 1988 to 1994, states that he is an instructor at Vancouver Mind-Body Centre, a martial arts studio, as well as a trader at Vantage Management Consulting.
Cheifetz’s instructor profile at the martial arts studio states that he “started his training at a very young age as he prepared for his intake into the Israeli Defence force (IDF).” His YouTube channel contains a video published in October 2023 of him performing an “IDF stretching routine.”
The Jewish Independent reported: “Over the years of his own training, from going into the Israel Defence Forces to studying yoga or martial arts, Cheifetz has always looked for holistic ways of improving fitness and creating a ‘mind-body’ connection.”
